Does anyone make a smaller heater box or a different style system ie..electric (or nuclear j/k!!!) I wasn't going to remove the stock setup but I broke the inlet inside the box putting the hose back on. The car is a streetable stage2 9 sec ride with 22,000 miles and could use the weight savings but need a defroster.How much will I lose value with heat and AC gone? Any pics of a delete plate and ac delete pully? How much weight can I lose by ditching it. Any info or advice is needed.

You could always just replace the heater core. Instructions for doing that are on the web site as well.

If you have a Stage II car, all originality is gone. Why worry about it?

Champion makes a nice billet aluminum bracket for holding the power steering pump and alternator. http://www.championracingheads.com/gn1/products_altbracket-combo.html

Is there a electric unit that will work for defrost?

I guess I'm gonna ditch the heater box and AC. How much weight will that shave?

not sure on the weight, but it sure clears up some room in there

I took out one in my old GN but I'm having a tough time mentally decideing to pull it out of a 22,000 mile car.
